Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Price elasticity of supply for cheese = 0.6 in the short run

Price elasticity of supply for cheese = 1.4 in the long run

If an increase in the demand for cheese causes the,

Price of cheese to increase by 15%

In short run,

Price elasticity of supply for cheese = Percentage change in the quantity supplied ÷ Percentage change in the price

0.6 = Percentage change in the quantity supplied ÷ 15

0.6 × 15 = Percentage change in the quantity supplied

9% = Percentage increase in the quantity supplied

In long run,

Price elasticity of supply for cheese = Percentage change in the quantity supplied ÷ Percentage change in the price

1.4 = Percentage change in the quantity supplied ÷ 15

1.4 × 15 = Percentage change in the quantity supplied

21% = Percentage increase in the quantity supplied

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

$6,480,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of the current liabilities is shown below:

Total assets of $11,200,000

Less: Noncurrent assets $1,480,000

Current Assets = $9,720,000

Now as we know that

Current ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities

Current Liabilites is

= $9,720,000 ÷ 1.5

= $6,480,000

The following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

In option a:

The Mandovi's absolute benefit in this issue is that so many ratios are produced and transform because less power is spent than Ducennia (50 -100 compounds to 150 -200).

In option b:

$\left\begin{array}{ccc} \text{ O.C}&\text{Per.Ratid}&\text{Per Tauron} \\\text{Mandovia}&\text{0.5\ Tauron}&2 \ Rotid\\\text{Ducennia}&\text{ 0.75\ Tauron}& 1.33 \ Rotid \end{array}\right$

In option c:

$\left \begin{array}{cccc}1& \text Rotids \ ou tput} &\text Taurous \ ou tput}\\ \text{Mandovia }& 10 \ M&5 M\\\text{Ducennia}& 6.7 \ M&5 M \\\text{Total}& 16.7 \ M&10 M\end{array}\right$

There are a total of 1 billion labours are available for the equally divided for 0.5 billion and 0.5 billion for both and the Rotiods is $\frac{0.5}{50} = 0.01 \ \ billion$

and for taurous = $\frac{0.5}{100}-0.005\ \ billion$ .
